1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,320
The most important time is the 
present. 

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,160
The present moment contains the 
eternal. 

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:14,960
All love, all future 
possibilities, all relationships

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,840
are happening right now. 
Rest with the possibilities that

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:26,720
this moment brings. 
Allow today's meditation to 

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,520
anchor you to this present 
moment. 

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,000
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by getting comfortable 

8
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:43,760
in your chair. 
And when you're ready, take a 

9
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:52,360
few nice deep breaths and allow 
your eyes to slowly close. 

10
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,640
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

11
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:09,360
Let everything you say be good 
and helpful so that your words 

12
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,120
will be an encouragement to 
those who hear them. 

13
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:29,640
And again, let everything you 
say be good and helpful so that 

14
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,600
your words will be an 
encouragement to those who hear 

15
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:54,610
them. 
Now gently bring your awareness 

16
00:01:55,050 --> 00:02:01,850
to the breath. 
Allow your breath to deepen and 

17
00:02:01,850 --> 00:02:13,710
fill the lungs. 
Big deep breath in and then 

18
00:02:13,710 --> 00:02:17,070
taking twice as long on the 
exhale. 

19
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:32,560
Let the inhale come easily and 
effortlessly, and then exhale, 

20
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:43,750
controlling the breath. 
Allow yourself to be here in 

21
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:52,550
this moment. 
This is all that matters right 

22
00:02:52,550 --> 00:03:00,080
now. 
Whatever you need to let go of, 

23
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,600
let it go. 
Release it to God. 

24
00:03:16,590 --> 00:03:21,310
Today is a new day with new 
opportunities. 

25
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:36,960
Allow your breath to renew your 
spirit and connect you to your 

26
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:52,530
Creator who loves you. 
Deep breath in through the nose 

27
00:03:54,650 --> 00:04:08,760
and out through the mouth. 
Remember, this is a place of 

28
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,800
love. 
Let this practice be whatever 

29
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:21,360
you need it to be. 
God's calming presence is always

30
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:32,640
accessible to you. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

31
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:54,880
loving presence of God. 
With a gentle curiosity, begin 

32
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:12,130
to notice the breath. 
Make the breath deep and full of

33
00:05:12,130 --> 00:05:18,170
life. 
Allow that fresh air to fill up 

34
00:05:18,210 --> 00:05:24,210
the lungs and then relax the 
body as you exhale. 

35
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,960
Let your body become heavy as 
your mind continues to relax. 

36
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,040
You are exactly where you need 
to be. 

37
00:06:06,020 --> 00:06:14,380
And now come to the heartbeat. 
Maybe even listen for its 

38
00:06:14,380 --> 00:06:31,440
rhythm. 
Just relaxing and releasing. 

39
00:06:47,060 --> 00:06:52,060
If the thoughts take you away, 
that's OK. 

40
00:06:53,940 --> 00:06:59,620
When it's easy, bring your 
awareness back to the heartbeat.

41
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:18,160
Just listen to your heartbeat 
and the gentle sound of your 

42
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:38,070
breath. 
Let your breath act as an anchor

43
00:07:38,430 --> 00:07:41,870
to this moment and this 
practice. 

44
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:04,200
With each breath, allow yourself
to rest further into the calm of

45
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:22,580
God's love. 
Take this verse with you. 

46
00:08:25,620 --> 00:08:31,860
Let everything you say be good 
and helpful so that your words 

47
00:08:31,860 --> 00:08:35,620
will be an encouragement to 
those who hear them. 

48
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:57,520
Gently bring your awareness back
to the body and when you feel 

49
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:04,880
ready, slowly open your eyes and
take a nice deep breath. 

50
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,160
Sit back and relax for a moment.
How do you feel? 

51
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,720
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you next time with 

52
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,520
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
